Without flow meters you cannot see how much water is going down each one, and the short loops steal flow from the long ones. That is how a back bedroom stays cold while the rest of the floor runs warm. The meters on the supply bar read GPM per loop, so the system is balanced once at commissioning and then left alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is in the box\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e304 stainless steel supply and return bars with flow meters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBall valves with integral temperature gauges\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAutomatic air vents and drain valves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMounting brackets and hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEuro-cone PEX adapters for every loop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThermal actuators are not included.

A loop of 1\/2 in. PEX is normally run up to about 300 ft, which covers roughly 250 to 300 sq ft of floor. A 2,000 sq ft house with a radiant main level typically lands between 6 and 10 loops.

Insulate the manifold or mount it in a cabinet.
